Morris, who is from Arlington, performed at Revention Music Center as part of her Girl: The World Tour. She's carved a unique place for herself by confounding expectations. It's earned her a wide swath of fans and genre-crossing hits, including "My Church" and "The Middle" with Zedd.

Baytown's RaeLynn opened the show. She made the top 16 during the second season of "The Voice" and is arguably the series' most successful contestant.
